Can prevnar 13 be given in the hip?

Prevnar 13, a pneumococcal vaccine, is typically administered intramuscularly, commonly in the thigh (vastus lateralis) for infants and in the deltoid muscle for older children and adults. While the hip area is not a standard injection site, it is generally advisable to follow recommended guidelines for vaccine administration to ensure proper absorption and minimize discomfort. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific vaccination practices.
